We have spent the last couple of years developing an AI-powered toolkit to help you transform words into impact by being the best presenter you can be.

Video is already a mega-trend for social media, web, email marketing, as well as for one-on-one personalized messaging.

Even as we start to scale, it’s important to us to keep community at the heart of everything we do.

From the whole team at BIGVU, thank you for considering this opportunity.

[Problem]

Build Trust with Face-to-Face Connections

Nowadays, the best way to connect with your customers is through camera-facing videos. The reason is simple: eye-to-eye contact is the best way to build trust, persuade or sell.

When you appear on video, you want to be credible, and to be seen as an expert.

Your audience will judge you by the quality of your broadcast. No matter how good you are, if your video looks amateur, people will think you are amateur.

But making polished videos is difficult for most business owners. Editing, adding captions, publishing, etc., all take too much work for non tech-savvy people. 

Too Many Tools, Too Little Time

There are currently tons of different tools for video creation: mobile apps for teleprompter or automatic subtitling, online video editing tools, and even more apps to stream live. You can now embed your videos on emails or web pages, and track your posts on social media to know what content is resonating best with your audience.

Choice has made users confused and dissatisfied. Users embrace new tools at every turn only to abandon them a few weeks later, stuck toggling between different apps.

[Solution]

How to make a great video presentation?

1. Script > Shoot - Record with confidence

Know what to say, while avoiding rambling. How? By teleprompting your scripts.

Craft a good script or prepare an outline with a hook, a good story and a call-to-action. Only well crafted messages will make an impact. Maintain eye-contact, read the script directly to the camera.

2. Your Video > Your Brand - Broadcast your style.

With the BIGVU Smart Video Maker, polish your video in just a few taps.

BIGVU Artificial Intelligence makes most of the video editing tasks either automatic or done in one-click. Cut your video by just selecting the words where you want to start and end. If you recorded from a distance and/or in a noisy environment, BIGVU uses artificial intelligence to remove background noise and maximize audio levels.

Make your video more than just a talking head. Add your personal brand, your video with your logo, colors and fonts. Spice up your presentation with stunning captions automatically generated, split screens, titles, zoom effects, visual overlays and a personalized business card animation at the end of all your videos. Anyone can stand-out like pro, no editing skills required.

3. Maximize your reach - Share Video Anywhere.

BIGVU is your video marketing hub, so there is no need for any additional app to share or analyze your performance on social media, your embeds on your website, or your personalized video messages.

It’s one click to post any video to Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter. BIGVU Video Analytics show the progression of numbers of followers and the engagement of your latest posts.

With BIGVU video pages, own your audience of visitors for your vlog, nurture leads with video emails, personalized messages on WhatsApp or Messenger.

4. Google Docs for Videos > Network Effect

BIGVU is a collaborative video editing platform, where several users can simultaneously compose videos accessing a shared storyboard, managing access, assignments, review cycles by editorial staff, team members, and occasional freelancers.
